Good Morning Quilters!
This past week I decided to work on something small and simple, and an Instagram friend, Taryn Faulkner, had pictures up of a #Halloweekendsewalong.
Her name on Instagram is Reproquiltlover and she inspires me because she loves to make copies of vintage quilts, just as I do. Anyway, she made a cheddar and white pinwheel doll quilt that made me want to make one too. I looked in my stash of hst pieces, and found some red and white ones. Here is what I made:
It is 12” by 15” and the pinwheels are 3” square. While looking for two color hsts to play with, I also found these, and I could make another version in tan and white:
Taryn said she pressed all the seams open on her small quilt, so I did too. The hsts were already made and the seams pressed to the red side, but each seam after that was pressed open. I thought you’d like to see what the back side looks like:
I will be adding a border to it. I also got out a fall quilt UFO to see what was to be added to it to finish the top. I chose some fat quarters from my stash to make more blocks to get it finished. I hope to have some progress on it to show you next Monday.
This is the view each morning, from my bedroom windows:
Soon the trees will be bare branches, and the grass underneath will be a colorful thick carpet of fallen leaves.
